i just gota 48* vokey and i tried out the nike but it just didnt feel right and i havent had a chance to hit a range or anything to try the vokey in a real siutation but in my backyard it hit great and was alot better than my unknown pw i had be4 ha i feel i made the right decision with the vokey the nike did seem heavier and when i swung it wasnt comfterable in a way same with the callaways

I side with Nike.
As a hight handicapper I was a bit concerned with blade style clubs. After testing a few different ones (titleist Vokey Design, Taylormade and Nike Victory Red) I immediately understood that that is a non-issue. In fact these wedges (I got the 52, 56 and 60) are all easy to shoot high and straight. These Nikes feel immediately a bit heavier than the competition, and thanks to the stiff shaft, also a bit "harder" to swing. I say that in a positive connotation, as it seem to make it easier to concentrate and calibrate your efforts in the shot. It is very rewarding to play with different shots, trying to shape and control distance and spin. I had read other comments regarding the abrasiveness of the grooves, but these clubs REALLY shred balls, you literally have to remove pieces of the ball from the grooves. I expect this trait to dull up as I hit more balls (hopefully!). Great clubs, always happy to hit them.

hey there, I have played vokeys in my first good set, but then i switched over to nike sv wedges, 52* and 60*... At first the spin was really noticeable, but now i see more of a consistant spin rate. I've also picked up a nike vr forged 56*... if you want to rip off covers on your golf ball i highly suggest a set of these!

I'm definately going to convert my wedge set over to the older vr with sharp square grooves.

best of luck

have fun on the golf course! score low right?

    • Glad you have the more important problem listed first 🤣
    • Gotcha. Still surprised those were that slow too, those are usually some of the quicker/nicer maintained greens of the public courses I play.
    • I go every year for Thanksgiving, this year I'll be arriving on 11/15 with 3 buddies.  Conditions have always been pretty good, greens are always near-perfect.  The only downside is that some courses will have overseeded, and they generally keep the fairways pretty wet while the rye gets started.  
    • before my home course put millions into maintenance, we had a local rule used by the league that you could improve your lie. The course has dry spots of hard clay, no grass, unfilled divots in the fairway. Since the bunkers filled with rocks and other stuff and never raked, we were allowed to lift and place. The idea was going head to head in matches I want my opponent to have the best lie and shot opportunity. I dont want to win a match because my opponents fairway shot is buried in a divot. Now that the course is well maintained we dont have to rely on that rule as much. 
    • "Golf is often called a gentleman's game because of its emphasis on etiquette, sportsmanship, and respect for fellow players and the course. Golfers are expected to adhere to a code of conduct that includes honesty, integrity, and consideration for others on the course." it amazes me for the right number, how quickly people will forget human rights violations, compromise their integrity and virtues all in the name of "growing the sport" (which we know not to be true)
